I used to believe…

Theres a bit in Avril Lavigne's Complicated where she sings "Honestly promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it". I was pretty sure I heard the line "Thomas please promise me I'm never gonna find you naked"

My flatmate at the time was a guy called Tom so it was particularly apt. It was like she was singing to me maaan, it was like Lavigne UNDERSTOOD.

Unahappy ending to this story though as I did inadvertently come home to find Tom naked.

Thanks for listening, this is far cheaper than therapy

Okay..when I was little..I thought that that song, oh I dont even know what it is called..Something about I Got the party!...Well I thought that it said- I Got the parlor!....&& Then in the Jefferson themesong where it says "..to the deluxe apartment, in the sky.." I Thought it was "..He loves Carpotza in the Dine!.."..lol yeah I dont know what was wrong with me, but I certanily thought it was right!.

I used to believe…

my mom has this superchic{k} cd that she really likes if shes in the rite mood and she and my sister would sing along to this song together (it was called super trooper) and for a really really long time i thought that the lyrics were

"you were meant to live like Kiman Tay,
charge,
lets go light the world up,
lets not wait until the end,
to be the things we wish we'd been"

wheras the real lyrics are

"You were meant to live large,
come on take charge,
lets go light the world up,
lets not wait until the end,
to be the things we wish we'd been"
i seriously thought that Kiman Tay was some really famous person that i'd never heard of before but u should want to be like them. i was 14 too. oops.

I used to believe…

You know from the Eurythmics 1986 hit 'Thorn in my side', well I always thought the first line was 'Gone from my sights'.

I only found out a moth ago Franz Ferdinands a band.I thought it was one guy. o.0

I used to believe…

Until I was like 7 I believed that a song was a long as a TV show...30 minutes. So when I asked my mom something like how long it was going to take to drive somewhere and she would say "3 songs", I thought it was like and hour and a half.

I used to believe…

When I was little, there were a lot of teen singers and bands, so I asumed all singers were around 16. If I heard of a singer who was over 20 I would be like " Oh my gosh, they're old!"

I used to believe…

the first time i listened to The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" , i though they said "open up my biggest eye" instead of "open up my eager eyes" O_o i thought they talk about a transexual or something!!!

I used to believe…

this is about music... when i was young and i watched performances, i thought the conductors and the performers have a secret code, like "when i raise my right hand you start playing." i didnt know conductors were there to keep the time til i joined a band...

I used to beleive that the muzak being palyed in the doctors office, was played on a boombox throught the air conditioning vents, and a group of nuns were up there, choosing what song to play.

I used to believe…

my dad told me that when he was a kid a song came out that went ' Denise , Denise', Denise , Denise.
He used to think it was ' beneath the knees , beneath the knees ' . He used to wonder how you could just love a woman beneath the knees.

I used to believe…

This is for the 1979 hit song “I Got You” by the New Zealand band, Split Enz. I always thought that the line that actually read “I don’t know why sometimes get frightened” was “I don’t know, I sometimes I get five cents” up until recently when I look up the lyrics on the web.

I used to believe…

me and my brother used to think that the words to the beautifal people by maralin manson was abidalabeebaa abidalebeebaa now!!lol!!

I used to believe…

In Fall Out Boy's song "Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued", I thought the lyrics were:

With that sweat go on your feet
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

But it actually goes:

We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

I'm not even sure of the name of the song but I know that I used to sing:

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hundred children and not a crop in the field"

But the actual lyrics were:

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field"

Believe me, my parents used to have me sing that for people all of the time!

Oh yeah, and I used to mess up Jingle Bells too, I'd sing it "horpin snorpin sleigh"

I used to believe…

Where's the restroom? Well, a very well known song by Credence Clearwater Revival goes, "... Don't go out tonight, it's bound to take your life. There's a bad moon on the rise."
When I was five until I was about nine, I used to think the song said, "....There's a bathroom on the right."

I always got a little embarrased when that line came 'round. Never liked people telling me where the bathroom was, assuming I needed to "go."
